Winter Events

Closing over Winter Break

All Disability Resources offices will be closed from Dec 22 until January 2, when some DR staff will return. Spring Semester classes begin on January 22.

Academic Accommodations for Spring Semester

Students are reminded to make their accommodation appointments as soon as possible after new semester classes begin. You may schedule those appointments right away - call or talk to Mary Kaye to schedule - but go to each of your classes before your actual appointment, so you will have a syllabus for each class. Bring your syllabi to your appointment to expedite request forms.

Another look at Assistive Technology

Assistive technology has made college accessible to students with disabilities in ways we could only dream about a few years ago. Some of the most exciting programs have been developed for students with learning disabilities. The short video linked below shows how powerful these learning tools can be. UMD has this software for both use in the Library and on USB devices for check-out. Be amazed!
